Beautiful Old French Sampler
£78.00
A beautiful old sampler that seems to hold lots of family names and dates, main family name is Brasseur. It appears (to me) that it registers names as a possible gentle memory piece, the earliest stitched date is 1802 and the latest is 184(5), the 5 has come away to the top.
Good condition for age, it is slightly hard to read the names in places as some of the stitches have worn away or come undone. If you are an expert on samplers and have an understanding of this piece then please do let me know and I can add it to the description here.
Measures 59cm x 46cm.
Unsure of exact age.
I have taken lots of photographs as a visual description. Please note that the sampler is in the warmer tones of the first photographs. The more detailed photos were taken on a very bright day and I just couldn't accurately record the tone of the base linen.
